How and why entrepreneurship education questions the evolution of the French education system

The entire issue aims to show how the development of the spirit of entrepreneurship or initiative partly guides the evolution of the French education system. As a political injunction, the development of this key skill is reflected in mechanisms, teaching practices, activities and skills being renewed. The resulting tensions challenge the school form, the educational form and the professionalism of those who are involved in this development. Three articles exploring a variety of mechanisms associated with the development of the entrepreneurial spirit shed light on their implementation, particularly from the point of view of the professionals who are involved in it. The reflection on the words and concepts used to designate the entrepreneurial spirit flows throughout the issue and in particular in the section "on words". The interview conducted with two researchers in sociology and management sciences provides their own insights into education and training sciences (ETS). It is in the diversity of views that questions emerge on the changes associated with the objective of developing the spirit of entrepreneurship and initiative and the essential contributions that ETS can offer.
